UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON 
Educational Program 
  
1. During the period of 1972-1976, four new courses in the area 
of photogrammetry/remote sensing have been added. This brings the 
total number of courses offered in photogrammetry/remote sensing to 
eighteen. Additional courses are also now in the planning stages. 
Students at the undergraduate level may specialize in photogrammetry 
and remote.sensing, and they receive the BS Civil and Environmental 
Engineering Degree. At the graduate level, MS and PhD Degrees with 
majors in photogrammetry and remote sensing are granted. 
2. An experimental program leading to the degrees of MS and 
PhD in environmental monitoring has been initiated. The basic 
emphasis in this program is on remote sensing of the environment 
from airborne and satellite platforms, including remote sensing data 
acquisition, remote sensing data analysis (both quantitative and 
interpretive), and the presentation/cemmunication of these data in 
a useful form to a wide variety of user groups. This involves con- 
sideration of the characteristics of applicable technology including 
physical, organizational, and economic limitations; the characteristics 
of the desired data including definition, resolution and distribution; 
and the characteristics of the institutional and individual users. 
This is an interdepartmental degree program administered 
by the Institute for Environmental Studies and has. interactions with 
faculty from various departments, including: botany, chemistry, civil 
and environmental engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, 
forestry, geography, geology and geophysics, landscape architecture, 
meteorology, physics, soils, urban and regional planning, zoology, 
and others. 
Publication 
1. The textbook Elements of Photogrammetry by Paul R. Wolf (1974) 
is now the most widely used in the United States.
